Chapter 28 Someone Was Crashing

Hector was smiling, and he was full of love. He loved and spoiled her tirelessly every single day.

Even if he knew that she was not his biological sister, it did not change anything.

Ginevra shook her head helplessly. She then patted Hector’s knees.” Spoil her then!”

Hector laughed.

Harmonia was looking down at some documents and flipping

through them. She realized this was the tea plantation’s reports for the past few months. It recorded the growth of the tea leaves and several detailed explanations.

The residents of Green Town had been tea farmers for generations, but their tea industry had never gone well.

Six years ago, her parents started working with Green Town when they moved in. They rented farmland from the locals and organized it into a tea garden.

This large tea garden had also turned into one of Green Town’s tourist attractions.

Her father also hired tea farmers to tend to the tea garden. Not only did they have regular salaries, but they also received bonuses at the end of each year.

So, in recent years, the residents of Green Town slowly began to have a better quality of life. But the tea leaves in the storage were piling up into mountains.

“Mom.” Harmonia closed the document folder. She looked up at

Ginevra. Her expression was extremely solemn and serious.

“What’s wrong?”

“What’s up with the tea leaves in the backyard’s storage?”

Hector was also stunned. Obviously, he had no idea what this was about either.

Ginevra did not expect her to be so observant. The storage room looked so pretty on the outside; people just thought it was a nursery.

She told her the truth. “That is last year’s remaining stock. We could only keep them in our cold storage unit to preserve them.”

“How could there be unsold stock for tea as good as this?” Harmonica could not understand.

Ginevra sighed, “It was during the third quarter of last September. After we’d packaged the tea leaves, we had prepared to transport them from Green Town to the airport like every year. But who would have thought…

“That hooligan, Blaed Herb, would extort us for three million dollars in protection fees. Even though it was a small sum to our family, three million dollars could help plenty of needy people!

“Of course, we would not agree to t! In the end, he brought along a gang of ruffians, blocked the truck transporting the tea, and started a staged accident!”

‘Have you reported this to the police?” Harmonia asked.

Ginevra nodded. “The police have already arrested them. But since hey didn’t commit any major crime, they were released after a few lays. After their release, they did not stop. They started using worse actics; they started harassing us by scaring the packing workers, the Irivers, and their families

“They have been creating trouble for us again and again. This led to us missing out on the new tea’s launch in the market. Large batches. of orders could not be handed over in time. We had to pay a huge. sum to compensate for breaking the contract. Our tea leaves went into unsold stock because of this too.”

When Ginevra brought this up, she was really unhappy.

“You know what’s worse? Your father and I have approached Blaed’s parents. We hoped they would talk to him. However, his parents were unreasonable too. They were crying in the middle of the streets

saying that we were bullying them!

“That Blaed’s mother even clutched her heart, saying her heart attack was acting up! They really are birds of a feather!

“Soon after, Blaed would say nasty things whenever he saw us. He said that if we gave him the three million, we would not have unsold stock. Listen for yourself, is this something a person should say?”

The more she spoke, the angrier she got!

Hector’s expression was solemn as he said, “I had no idea something like this happened.”

“You were already too busy with the consortium’s affair. Also, you were too far away to help us. It would be hard for you to handle him when he was in his element here too.”

Hector’s tone was stern. “Father has always been active in charity work. Blaed is a resident of Green Town. He enjoyed plenty of privileges here when you think about it.”

Harmonia smiled and stopped swiveling the ring on her pinkie.” Hector, what more do you expect from an ungrateful dog?”

Ginevra nodded, she agreed, and said, “Harmonia couldn’t have said it better. His whole family is a pack of ungrateful dogs. They are

unreasonable. And there’s nothing we can say about it.”

Harmonia chuckled coldly.

Using reasoning and logic would not work with rabid hooligans like these.

One could only fight poison with poison and give them a taste of their own medicine.

She was going to note this “favor” down..

Suddenly her phone rang.

Once she picked it up, Louis’s shriek came through!

“Ms. Marsh, someone is crashing our booth. Help!”
